We are all trying to produce good software and we have our workflows. Those are openly accessible. Everyone can register a Github account even with a fake name. Not using the standard resources for posting bugs just makes everyones life's harder and keeps us from writing software/fixing bugs etc. that's why we are redirecting people from the mailing list to the github issues.

The problem is a purley pragmatical problem and not an ideological one. I dont see this as rebuking but simply helping the posters on the mailing lists getting their issues fixed.

But we already know we disagree about this: you've agreed to github
and others have not.  Please continue using Github if you like, but if
you want to make it easier for us developers and users, please accept
other reports and patches nicely.

Thanks,

I dont know, I think this is counterproductive. The most important part is getting a good FOSS product out there which fullfills the users' needs. I wouldnt care if everything was built with proprietary tools if they did they job better than the FOSS counterparts. We should take the best of both worlds, everything else is just blind ideologism and hurts the users.
